There are four types of installations for the RTS series. Below are the different options easily described, step by step, for a smooth and correct installation.
Choose the mounting option according to the ceiling type; for drywall or a concrete ceiling, choose J-Box installation or Acoustic for T-bar ceilings like Armstrong.
A: Aircraft cable 16ft; B: Aircraft cable caps; C: Gripper; D: Mounting brackets and bracket pins; E: Cable bushing; F: J-Box Canopies; G: T clips with extra security; H: Standard T clips; I: Large hanger bolts; J: Standard hanger bolts
Prior to installation, make sure nothing is missing from the list above; the electrical power is off, and necessary tools are handy.
Insert a holder bolt into each standard T clip, choose the correct length of the two options, for your installation.
Insert a holder bolt into each secured T clip (RECOMMENDED), choose the correct length of the two options, for your installation.
Attach the mounting bracket at the desired location alongside the backtrack of the fixture and secure it with the bracket pin.
Attach the aircraft cables to the mounting brackets, on the RTS fixture, and screw the gripper in the center hole all the way in. Make sure it' in all the way, tight and secure.
Measure the length between the mounting brackets. This will give you the measurements for the placements of the T-clips.
Attach the clips to the ceiling’s marked spots with the correct measurements from step 4.
Insert the cable bushing into the canopy - run the cable through the canopy, into the ceiling, and run it to the nearest J-box.
Cover T clip with canopy, so T clip bolt sticks out. Attach the aircraft cable cap to the T clip bolt.

Push the aircraft cable into the gripper on the mounting bracket to adjust the desirable length, making sure the lighting fixture is level.
When the desired height of the fixture is secured, cut the excess aircraft cable.
A: Aircraft cable 16ft; B: Aircraft cable caps; C: Grippers; D: Mounting brackets and bracket pins; E: Cable bushing; F: J-box Canopies; G: T-Support
Prior to installation, make sure nothing is missing from the list above; the electrical power is off, and necessary tools are handy.
Attach the mounting brackets on the desirable position alongside the back of the fixture and secure them with the brackets pins.
Attach the aircraft cables to the mounting brackets by screwing the gripper in the center hole of the bracket.
Measure the length in between the mounting brackets. This will give you the distance for the placements of the T-support bar on the grid.
Determine the desired location for the fixture under the drop ceiling in between the grids

Snap the t support on the grid and secure it with the screw. Make sure the t support sits firmly on the grid before screws fastening.
Bring the tile to the t-support and mark the spot for hanger bolt. Pierce through the tile at the marked spot. Make sure it's wide enough for the hanger bolt to come through. Place the ceiling tile.
Insert the cable bushing into the canopy - run the cable through the canopy, into the ceiling, and run it to the nearest J-box.
Insert canopy plate through the hanger bolt tight to a ceiling panel and screw the aircraft cable cap on it.
Push the aircraft cable into the gripper on the mounting bracket to adjust the desirable length, making sure the lighting fixture is leveled.
When the desired height of the fixture is secured, cut the excess aircraft cable.
Two preinstalled octagon shape j-boxes or j-box with round cover recommended for the proper and clean installation.
A: j-box cover plate; B: mounting plates; C: hanger bolts; D: cable retainer; E: cable bushing; F: mounting brackets; G: bracket pins; H: aircraft cable caps; I: grippers; J: aircraft cable 16ft
Prior to installation, make sure nothing is missing from the list above; the electrical power is off, and necessary tools are handy.

Insert the hanger bolt into the cable retainer, and screw it through the mounting plate.
Fit the cable bushing on the canopy plate with the power feed opening.

Measure the desired height from the fixture to the ceiling. The aircraft and power feed cables are 16 ft long and the fixture can be placed within that distance.

Pull the feeding cable through the cable bushing and the mounting plate. Secure at least 6 inches of the line on the mounting plate in the cable retainer using two small screws.

Connect the feeding cable wires accordingly to the preinstalled electrical wires inside the J-box.

Fasten the mounting plate to the J-box with provided screws.
Insert the canopy cover plate through the hanger bolt and securely place it on the j-box.
Attach the aircraft cable by screwing the cable cap onto the hanger bolt.
Attach the mounting bracket at the desired location alongside the backtrack of the fixture and secure it with the bracket pin.
Screw the gripper in the center hole of the bracket, all the way in. Make sure it’s in all the way, tight and secure. Push the aircraft cable in to adjust the desirable length, ensuring that the fixture is level.

Ensure that the fixture is level, cut and discard unnecessary length of aircraft cable. Clean the fixture. The installation is complete.
You only need the brackets and bracket pins from the kit provided.
Prior to installation, make sure nothing is missing from the list above; the electrical power is off, and necessary tools are handy.

Measure and mark the desirable distance for mounting clips on the ceiling. The distance is fully adjustable within the fixture's length.
Mount each clip on the ceiling with the screws using all three holes for the most secured installation. Insert the secure pin into the side hole but don't fasten it all the way in just yet.
Run the wire through the mounting surface to your j-box location. Please note that this is a limited mounting option and we require you to check your local code for the proper wiring connection.
